If you're selling an old laptop and it's in pretty good shape, that's not going to matter much if you posted an unflattering, blurry photograph. Here's how to take better product shots for your online sales with some poster board.

With some white poster board, a camera, and the product you want to photograph, you can get a really nice product shot without too much trouble or too much money. Home and technology blog Unplggd explains that you just need to create a poster board housing for your product and shoot around sunrise or sunset for optimal, natural lighting. While these suggestions are geared towards Etsy sellers, they're really applicable to anybody who wants to get a good photo for a sale on craigslist, ebay, and the like.
